The castle was built by Ludwig II of Bavaria. This castle is the most photographed building in Germany this place is one tourism destination in Germany. There are actually two palaces there, Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. But most tourists prefer instead Hohenschwangau Neuschwanstein.

The castle has been open to the public since 1886. Every year, about 1.3 million people visit this castle, with 6,000 people per day in the summer. All the way to the Castle by train, our eyes are very spoiled with the natural scenery is so beautiful and charming. Views of blue sky, green grass interspersed with wild flowers in yellow, and trees here and there.

There are still lots of room in the palace that is not resolved. However, the rooms that have become truly riveting. The King's bedroom is filled by a large bed with a wooden pole in the fourth end, and on top filled with carved images of all cathedrals in Bavaria. There is also a secret door leading to the toilets, hand washing facilities in the form of a swan. Decorations and paintings in the palace many took inspiration from operas by Richard Wagner, the King's favorite composer.

The rooms are no less beautiful is the throne room, decorated by paintings around the walls and mosaics on the floor. There is also The Singers' Hall which was built specifically for musical performances and drama. King Ludwig died before he could watch the show anything in that place, but a place with good acoustics is still in use.The view out of the palace itself no less amazing. The sky is slightly cloudy, with a little snow on the mountain-tongued, blue lakes, dense forests and Hohenschwangau castle itself. Visitor favorite room is The Grotto, is shaped like a cave complete with a tiny waterfall and a small garden to relax. Music from the Singers' Hall can also be enjoyed from this spot. Amazingly, although built in the 19th century and looks old, the palace was built by using many modern technologies for the convenience of the occupants.
